voters and i have each to get their opinions and thoughts on how things went tonight let's start with the undecided voter from all would the big question of the night tonight is was there a clear winner? >> no, i thought it was a draw, i was pleased it was more civil than i thought it would be so for me the domestic policy is big and foreign policy is going to decide it. i'm waiting for foreign policy. >> let's move on to an obama supporter in when i spoke with you midway through the debate you said to me, i think romney is doing a little bit better than i expected him to do. why? >> in the past when we have seen him he has gone back and forth his conversation has been split but tonight i think he really help his own in the debates he

did a good job tonight so i have to give him kudos for that. >> romneyobama seemed to have a little bit more of the personality but romney had the numbers. >> definitely. it's not the speech it's what he believes and it's what i believe and that's why i support him. >> let's move on to bob you wore a romney supporter a clear winner tonight? >> i don't think there was, i think it was a draw. >> why? >> i think we need to learn more about both candidates within the next two debates i don't thinks there was another debating. >> would you say that he did enough was convincing enough to get voters to lead in his direction? >> i think he could be a little more convincing.

play to the independence in this country. independence in this country. ts in this country. i don't know if it decided anything because there are more debates to go but i will be surprised if romney doesn't get a bump from this, he was in command, far more in command then the moderator was. at one point he actually said maybe i am not a good moderators year. >> he seemed like the parent of two teenagers he could not control. >> they were not going to let anybody get in the way of the point he was trying to make. he couldn't get control that being said i said we are getting the points out here, now we have to really look at the clock so i think it's ok there's no

question that this moderator didn't have much control. >> comment office facing 23 million people out of work rising unemployment, an economic crisis at the kitchen table and spend energy and passion for two years fighting for obama care instead of jobs for the american people, it has killed jobs. >> xena because that, and a long even liberal commentators said throughout the term i understand healthcare is important and he wanted to put all his chips and a basket but why did he do that with so many are out of work. romney had him with exactly the number one criticism. >> he did his homework a little more. >> he knew facts figures even stories at one point president
